Overview of the Year :- 

## **CHARITY COMMISSION - ANNUAL REPORT 2021** 

## **ACTIVITIES - how the charity spends its money** 

**The Romani Foundation (Help For Dependency) is dedicated to helping those experiencing dependency or addiction, their family and friends - helping to beat dependency and addiction by improving their mental/emotional health and wellbeing. By providing information and help to better understand substance use, addictive disorders, dependency and addiction, we hope that you will be able to make better lifestyle choices and get the right help.** 

**The Romani Foundation operates from the founders/CEO’s  home/office and comprises a CEO, PA and a Board of four trustees. Family members and close friends volunteer their time to help and support the day to day operation of The Romani Foundation.** 

**The Founder/CEO has supported the Charity financially via charitable contributions from her business enterprises and will continue to do so. In December 2022 The Romani Foundation was successful in attaining a micro- grant from The Bradford Fund centred around ‘Resilience’. This funding has enabled our organisation to focus on strategic issues to enable  sustainability  as  the  Foundation  grows  and  develops.  Our Insurance Company has donated our annual insurance premiums and** 



**we continue to receive small donations from other initiatives such as Give As You Live.** 

**Due to the impact of COVID we have been unable to run any major fundraising events.** 

**Through  dedicated  partnerships  with  a  production  company,  other charitable organisations and people with lived experience of dependency/addiction we have produced education material on Understanding The Risks of Dependency/Addiction. The nine films are aimed at informing and educating people on the concept of dependency/addiction;  explaining  the  science  behind  it,  presenting keywords  and  featuring  select  moments  from  interviews  with  seven people who have each been exposed to different types of dependency/addictions.** 

**Our website and social media platforms - Help for Dependency -  are continually evolving. Social media in particular is effective in sharing information about all different aspects of dependency/addiction, physical  and  emotional  wellbeing,  diet  and  exercise  etc.  As  well  as linking with a UK audience; we also now have a global following. Our interactive  sharing  of  information  of   the  latest  news/research  is essential to helping and supporting people make better lifestyle choices around dependency/addiction.** 

**During  the  next  year  we’re  hoping to appoint more  Trustees to  the Boards so that we can expand our expertise in the field of dependency/addiction. We would also like to appoint Ambassadors in different  regions  of  the  UK  to  provide  educational  awareness  of dependency/addiction.   Likewise  through  the  ‘Power  of  Connections’ we’re expanding our links with other charities, businesses and public services to embed our work within different communities.** 

**We  will  continue  to  apply  for  external  funding  to  help  support  the running costs of the Foundation and also to extend our project work in communities.**
